Atom User Reviews for The Hateful Eight
Typical terrentino...not much action though. Mostly dialogue with a boring end. Probably will wait a few years to see again.
Murder Mystery. Tarantino Style
if you like nothing but monologue then this movie is for you. if you want action then better skip it. almost fell asleep 3 times.
Too much character development. Tarantino milked that story for all it was worth
Awesome way to pay homage to the old school roadshows. A must for Tarantino fans.
Another great flick from QT.
Spot on acting
Fantastic sound track and cinematography, great characters, believable and shockingly graphic "time period" interrelationships, rolls relentlessly toward an ever more apparent conclusion. Gads, what graphic blood shots. But that's Tarantino at his finest. Could almost…
It's a Terantino twisted movie. Didn't find it slow at all. Very good movie but was not a fan of the chapters he broke it into and the occasional narration he did to explain parts of the movie as if you were too dumb to follow along! 2:47 mins went fast and that equates to…
absolutely the most awful movie i have ever seen i would not want my worst enemy to sit through that mess
Metacritic
This is a movie that’s 168 minutes only because Quentin Tarantino is an uncontainable Rabelasian. He believes that more is more. And sometimes it is. But a truly great craftsman knows where to locate the line.
It’s fun for a while to see Kurt Russell hamming it up behind his voluminous mustache or Samuel L. Jackson once again raising rafters by laying down the law. But the film is pointless, even as entertainment, because it builds to nothing more than a comic book blood bath.
Working from a self-penned screenplay, Tarantino has come up with one of the wordiest Westerns on record, and even some of his most diehard fans may grimace at the film’s occasionally slow pace. But The Hateful Eight more than compensates through its intriguing characters, ominous atmosphere and palpable suspense.
